Chapter Ninety-Nine: Variation in the Inheritance
The inheritance of an art is not a complete copy of the previous generation. When inheriting, add your own characteristics, so sometimes the core of the inheritance remains the same, and the external will change.
The same is true for cooking.
There are really not many people who can let Mr. Liu Dexin cook in the entire Sijiu City. He Zai Lai is one of them.
The old man saw that He Zailai actually invited a young man to come over today, and he seemed to be very intimate, so he couldn't help but be curious about such a problem.
"Green Sword Fairy"
It's very difficult to just look at it, smell it, and guess what you're cooking. After all, the chefs here are all learning from themselves, and most of them have acquired their own essence.
The person who can cook for He Zai is naturally his own protΓ©gΓ©.
After a while, a waiter hurriedly came over and said to Mr. Liu, who was already sitting in the lounge and was drinking tea: "Mr. Liu, someone guessed the dish you made." β
"Oh?" Liu Dexin was stunned for a moment, he also deliberately approached his apprentice, it is difficult to guess, even if he is right, it will not be so fast, right?
"How?"
Liu Dexin looked at the waiter and asked.
"Mr. Sheng said, that young man is very powerful, just one glance, and he said the dish you made, he is a master."
Liu Dexin nodded, and then asked, "Isn't it Meng?" β
"No, the young man said, but anyone who has ever had a state banquet will know one of the most basic characteristics. That's the three nos. And he said, as long as he said that to you, you will understand. β
Liu Dexin laughed, nodded, and stood up.
"Go, take me over and meet the young man."
So the waiter took Mr. Liu to the private room that He Zai had ordered. As soon as I pushed the door, I heard a lot of laughter inside. When everyone saw Old Man Liu coming, they couldn't help but stand up.
"Oh, old man, I'm glad I will!" He Zailai hurriedly left the table and took a step forward, holding the old man's hand, "It's a sin to alarm you." β
"You know it's a sin and let me make you food? Bastard boy! Old Man Liu scolded with a smile, turned his head to look, his eyes swept over Zhang Desheng, and fell on Rong Yu's body.
"What are the three nos?" Old Man Liu stared at Rong Yu and said.
Rong Yu smiled and said, "Old Man Liu, you are a master of the state banquet and an expert. No shell, no bones, no spines, this is the three nos, this fish, the biggest difference is that there are no spines, and the perilla Wuchang fish in the picture of your recipe is spiny. The state banquet dishes are fresh, elegant, mellow and timeless. So many people think that Wuchang fish should be like this. I only know one thing, but I don't know the other. The favorite of this dish is the great man of Shonan's taste. So when Mr. Sheng made this dish for the great man, the taste was spicy, and it was biased for decades. It's not that the taste can't be changed, but because of the nostalgia and admiration for the great man. Only true disciples can pass it on in such subtle places. β
Old Man Liu's face was a little flushed, and he wanted to ask if he was the illegitimate son of Master Sheng Lao back then.
"You...... Do you know this carefully? β
Old Man Liu stared at Rong Yu with round eyes.
Not only Old Man Liu, but even Sheng Huaiming, He Zailai and Zhang Desheng opened their mouths in surprise, looking at Rong Yu, hoping to hear a shocking secret, so it was not in vain to come here to eat a melon and eat a meal by the way.
"It's easy to know!"
When Rong Yu looked at their expressions, he knew that they were all people who wanted to eat melons, and he couldn't help but laugh.
"This past was reported in the authoritative newspapers of the 80s. It is the character communication of Old Man Sheng. When I was looking at the history of the development of state banquets, I happened to read this account. β
Old Man Liu breathed a sigh of relief.
Sheng Huaiming also breathed a sigh of relief, he was so scared to death.
He Zailai was visibly a little disappointed.
And Zhang Desheng obviously felt very disappointed. So he asked Rong Yu with a thief heart: "...... you Is there something else that is being hidden from us? Don't be afraid, I'll call the shots. Bold ......"
Before he finished speaking, he felt two eyes shoot coldly on his body.
Old Man Liu and Sheng Huaiming's death stares, and suddenly strangled Zhang Desheng's words to death.
Rong Yu couldn't cry or laugh: "This is well-documented, maybe it can be searched on the Internet." β
"Yes, yes, this can indeed be found." Sheng Huaiming nodded hurriedly.
"Also, the state banquet is dominated by Huaiyang cuisine, which is the clear and energetic one that is exquisite. The main flavor of Huaiyang cuisine is salt. Through the different adjustment of salt, different flavors can be formed, which can be called a master. β
Rong Yu moved his gaze to Sheng Huaiming again.
Sheng Huaiming inexplicably felt that his name seemed to have the word "Huai", whether it had anything to do with the fact that his father had made a state banquet dish.
Not only Sheng Huaiming thought so, but Old Man Liu also thought so, and couldn't help but look at Sheng Huaiming twice.
"Together?"
Seeing that Sheng Huaiming and Old Man Liu were still standing next to him, He Zai couldn't help it, if he didn't move quickly, the food would be cold.
"I'll forget it, there's still something to do!"
Sheng Huaiming hurriedly left, a little embarrassed to stay here.
"Good!"
Old Man Liu agreed, full of anger. Then he dominated himself, and a waiter had already brought a bowl and put it in front of him.
"Go get my wine!"
Old Man Liu said to the waiter.
The waiter is a little confused, your wine? What's your wine? I don't know if you still have a private drink!
Old Man Liu said impatiently: "Just go find Mr. Sheng." β
The waiter walked away.
He Zailai is obviously looking forward to it. And Zhang Desheng also craned his neck and looked several times in the direction where the waiter left.
After a while, I saw the waiter bring a jar, which seemed to be able to hold about a catty. Old Man Liu carefully arranged the four cups. Unseal the mud seal and remove the cork.
Suddenly, the smell of wine came to my nose.
Zhang Desheng couldn't help but shout loudly: "Wocao, it's so fragrant!" β
He Zai nodded frequently: "With the fragrance of flowers, this wine is fragrant...... Soy sauce wine, soy sauce wine, right? Old man Liu, I didn't hear that you still have such a good thing! β
Old Man Liu glared.
"I won't take it out when you two come over, but today I'll take it out for my little brother. Gao surname? β
"Rong Yu, you can just call me Xiao Rong."
"How's that going to work? Brother Rong...... It's not taboo, right? "Old man Liu, this is a particular person.
Rong Yu didn't like the atmosphere that was too polite, so he nodded: "You are free!" β
Old Man Liu took a glass of wine with a glance, put it in front of Rong Yu, and said, "Brother Rong, give me a taste?" β
This old man felt a little happy when he saw the hunt, as if he had met a bosom friend. Looking at it like this, if you don't say a few words, it really doesn't feel like it ends.
Rong Yu looked at the wine in the white porcelain cup with bated breath, and then leaned over to the wine glass, let go of the breath he was holding, took a deep breath, and immediately the fragrance entered from his nostrils. Then he took a glass and tasted it.
Pursed his lips and stifled the wine.
After a minute, he slowly exhaled the wine.
Old Man Liu looked at Rong Yu expectantly, and his neck stretched out. Not only Old Man Liu, He Zailai was obviously also very interested, he had never seen Rong Yu taste wine.
Zhang Desheng asked anxiously: "How is it?" β
"Don't make a noise!" Old Man Liu interrupted Zhang Desheng impatiently.
Zhang Desheng really laughed a few times before closing his mouth.
Old man Liu is really not as good as Zhang Desheng in terms of assets, but the status of people in the rivers and lakes in the capital is here, and when they are old, they really can't contain a lake when they should be respected.
"The classic 12987 soy sauce wine brewing process is at least five to six years of cellaring, and the hook should be a veteran." Rong Yu talked eloquently.
Old Man Liu nodded frequently, at least five to six years of cellaring made him admire.
"There should be more than thirty kinds of base wines for this blend, right?"
"Thirty-three!" Old Man Liu nodded, you can guess this, it's very interesting!
"Wine tasting is so good?" He Yalai looked at Rong Yu in surprise, thinking that he should not reflect on him again.
Rong Yu smiled again, took a sip again, and then said: "From the ten words of sweetness, purity, fragrance, crispness, thickness, and mellowness of the wine, this wine has six words: sweet, sweet, clean, thick, thick, and mellow. β
When Old Man Liu heard this, he nodded very quietly at this time, and said: "Huang Ruoyu, the most famous wine taster in the capital, also said such a thing, alas, the master is not only a little bit worse!" β
There was no loss in his expression.
After just being silent for a while, he looked at Rong Yu and said, "How to correct it?" β
Rong Yu just smiled and didn't say anything.
Old Man Liu suddenly nodded as if he suddenly realized: "Hehe, it's me Meng Lang." It's really embarrassing to be so shameless when you're old. β
"Mr. doesn't have to be like this, the exploration of soy sauce wine is also an attempt, maybe you will find a way to solve it in the future, and you can also push soy sauce wine forward a big step."
As soon as Rong Yu said, Old Man Liu nodded reluctantly.
"Can you drink it now?" Zhang Desheng looked at a few people and said with a smile.
"Drink, this wine can still be eaten, but it is snubbing the distinguished guests!" Old Man Liu still waved his hand very arrogantly and said.
Wine is indeed good wine, although it is only six words, but it is already very rare.
However, during the meal, Old Man Liu kept his mouth shut and didn't mention the plan to let Rong Yu taste these five dishes. He also understood that he had met a master.
As for how tall, he didn't want to be tempted.
The guests were very happy at the meal, and Mr. Liu was a little worried about eating. When he finally paid the bill, Mr. Liu actually waived the money for this meal.
When he came out of the Sheng Mansion Banquet, Sheng Huaiming called a courteous person, personally led him out of the door all the way, and watched the three of them disappear at the mouth of the alley.
He Zai came to look at Rong Yu's eyes a little strange all the way.
Rong Yu smiled: "What's wrong?" Lao He! β
He Zai sighed: "In the past, I always thought that any master was a bad old man. Because decades of accumulation can make a master so profound and profound. It seems that I was still wrong, and there are really people who are born to know it! β
This emotion frightened Rong Yu.
But he was born to know, at least in this world.
It's just that in such a world, can he have a place, marry a wife, have children, and seek the avenue?
